Upcoming boxing events: Tyson Fury confirms three-fight series against Oleksandr Usyk; David Benavidez to face Anthony Yarde in their match-up
**Tyson Fury Announces Trilogy Fight Against Oleksandr Usyk**
In a highly anticipated development for the world of boxing, Tyson Fury has announced a trilogy fight against Oleksandr Usyk, set to take place on April 18, 2026, at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
The announcement comes after Fury's retirement in May 2025, following his second defeat at the hands of Usyk. However, the British boxer has since confirmed his comeback, specifically for this trilogy fight. Fury publicly posted the date and venue on social media, emphasizing his desire for the fight to take place in the UK, calling it "The trilogy UK" on Instagram.
The trilogy fight is conditional on Usyk’s continued success, as he is scheduled to face Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight title in July 2025. Fury expressed a strong motivation for revenge and a British home advantage for the trilogy fight, after feeling robbed in the previous bout held in Saudi Arabia.
The first two bouts were won by Usyk, with their most recent fight resulting in a unanimous decision victory for the Ukrainian boxer in 2024. Fury, however, claims to have watched the second fight over 250 times and still believes he won by five rounds.
Meanwhile, Tyson Fury is not the only big name making headlines in the boxing world. David Benavidez, who recently left Premier Boxing Champions, has joined Turki Alalshikh's boxing venture. Alalshikh, who claimed Fury would end his short-lived retirement, has also announced that Benavidez will defend his WBC light heavyweight championship against Anthony Yarde.
The Riyadh Season, an event in Saudi Arabia, is set to host Benavidez's fight against Yarde, further strengthening the boxing scene in the region. This move follows Alalshikh's recent acquisition of The Ring Magazine, which has been a significant player in the boxing world for over a century.
With the trilogy fight between Fury and Usyk set to take place in April 2026, boxing fans eagerly await the outcome of this intense rivalry where Usyk currently leads 2-0 but Fury aims to settle the score on home turf next year.
